Top Washington Heights Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Prime location on the Mile. All Staff were top notch!"

The Chicago Hotel Collection - Magnificent Mile

10/10 Excellent

"I have been reading reviews on various websites that sacred me immensely before checking in. All the reviews spoke negatively about the extra charges, so I reached out to the hotel and asked them twice about these charges and was assured both times that since I booked only a room, I will not be charged extra. Safe to say, people booking extra amenities need to share the blame when they are faced with these extra charges because the details are listed on the website. I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel which is conveniently located close to all the attractions. I was able to either walk or take a train ride from the closest subway station. Aside from a very overpowering smell that greets you when you walk in (to which your nose gets fatigued to in a minute or two) I found the room to be well decorated and comfortable."

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time staying here, our 1st was for a wedding held there last year. It was great & we stayed in a renovated room. Amazing & we will be back. Rooms were spacious, very clean, & amazing room. We decided to splurge & upgrade to a lakeside view. Check in was easy, great area, & love that they can hold baggage as well after you check out. Lastly great sleep! Bed was very comfy & pillows were amazing. Until next time"

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. We loved the design and the decor. The coffee area was so well set up and very thoughtful with honey, almond milk, lemons for water and tea. Very clean and delicious. The gym was a bit small but had all of the equipment and weights needed. They had chilled eucalyptus face towels that I loved so much at the end of my workout. The location was great. We loved the Nederlander theater and seeing The Notebook! My husband and I had an amazing time. Chicago was great! This hotel will not disappoint."

L7 Chicago by LOTTE

10/10 Excellent

"L7 is centrally located and is the perfect hotel for exploring the city. Easy access to everything. Clean property and more boutique and small compared to the larger hotels, which I prefer. The staff was amazing. So very friendly - especially Alex at the front desk. It was so nice that he was the first person we met because he set the tone for a wonderful trip. He answered every question and was so pleasant and helpful. He truly took great care of us! I look forward to coming back!"
